List of Celebrity Big Brother (American TV series) episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celebrity Big Brother, also known as Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, is the American adaptation of the reality competition television franchise Celebrity Big Brother, which was created by John de Mol.[1] The series premiered on CBS as counterprogramming to NBC's coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics on February 7, 2018.[2] The series has aired for two seasons and focuses on a group of celebrities, known as HouseGuests, that live in a purpose-built house, known as the Big Brother house, with no contact from the outside world for approximately a month. The HouseGuests try to avoid eviction with the aim of being the last remaining HouseGuest in order to win a grand prize of $250,000. Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan (Lim Jahey) serve as executive producers and the show is produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment in association with Endemol Shine North America.[3] Julie Chen Moonves hosts the series, continuing a position she has held since Big Brother premiered on CBS in 2000.[3] It is filmed in Los Angeles.[4]
Each season consists of thirteen episodes airing over a span of two and a half weeks.[1][3] All episodes are approximately 44 to 82 minutes, excluding commercials, and are broadcast in both high-definition and standard.[5][6] Episodes are also available for download at the iTunes Store in standard and high definition and Amazon Video, with new episodes appearing the day after their live airings.[7][8] Recent episodes are available at CBS' official Celebrity Big Brother website and the CBS App for a limited amount of time.[9] All episodes are available on CBS All Access along with the live Internet feed allowing subscribers to watch the HouseGuests while a season is in progress.[9] Celebrity Big Brother: After Dark is a companion show that airs on Pop concurrent with each season. After Dark provides viewers the opportunity to watch the HouseGuests live for three hours per day.[9] In order to preserve the drama for television broadcasts, CBS does not webcast certain moments that transpire in the house, including competitions and the nomination and eviction process.[10][11]
As of February 23, 2022,[update] 41 episodes of Celebrity Big Brother have aired, concluding the third season.
